Synopsis
It's Cougar's birthday party, but the gorgeous present he yearns to unwrap is destined for someone else. A sexy and uncompromising tale about faded glories, thwarted desires and the struggle to get time on our side. Dark, comic, erotic; a must-see.
Our Review:
Michael Coveney - 23 September 2009
“Youth’s a stuff will not endure”, sings Feste in Twelfth Night, and Cougar in Philip Ridley’s second major play - revived as part of Hampstead’s 50th anniversary season - insists on no more than 19 birthday candles on his cake, though he’s pushing 30.
In the 1992 Hampstead premiere, Con O'Neill played Cougar Glass, the lounging sybarite, and a young unknown, Jude Law, his teenaged object of affection, Foxtrot Darling. Edward Dick’s superb revival has Alec Newman and Neet Mohan in the roles, and both make much more of the sad desperation in the friendship, less of the two-way narcissism.
Cougar is attended by his senior partner Captain Tock, a lovely study in fussy devotion and depleted aspiration by Finbar Lynch, and their decrepit landlady, Cheetah Bee (Eileen Page; fix the wig or ditch it, love), is on hand to reawaken the building’s origins as a furrier’s downstairs.
